And the support has the desired effect as the visitors take the lead in the sixth minute. Officials ignore Chelsea's appeals for offside and Marcin Zewlakow slots the ball past the onrushing Ross Turnbull

But the Cypriot's lead didn't last long as 13 minutes later, Florent Malouda slips the ball to Michael Essien and the Ghanaian lets fly with a swerving shot from 25 yards that leaves keeper Dionisis Chiotis with no chance

Didier Drogba skips past the challenge of Chrysis Michael. The forward gave Chelsea the lead after 26 minutes. Gaël Kakuta slipped Yuri Zhirkov into some space down the left and his ball to the penalty spot was clinically driven into the corner by Drogba

With just seven minutes remaining, United regained the lead. Following some nifty footwork by Gabriel Obertan which took out a couple of defenders and gave him space to slide a low ball across goal to where Michael Owen was waiting at the far post to knock the ball into the net

With Wolfsburg throwing men forward to try and score the goal that they need to go through, Sascha Riether misses from four yards and United break quickly. The ball gets fed to Michael Owen just inside the Wolfsburg half on the left and it's England v Argentina at World Cup 1998 all over again as Owen sprints towards the penalty area with a trail of defenders in his wake and, as he enters the penalty area, clips the ball over the advancing keeper. That makes it 3-1 and is Owen's first hat-trick for United
